Very good chance. Clearly showed improvement from first two to last two years by honor roll.

Your unweighted GPA does have me concerned. Given your ACT of a 33, a 3.8 is definitely in the danger zone. Maybe you can point out strong upward progression, but I’m guessing it will come down to your essays.

There doesn’t seem to be much I can do now about my unweighted GPA but I’m hoping that my essays will convince - Thank You
